No, I did not reward myself with a trip to a real fabric store (I don't deserve it anyway it because I haven't hung those camo curtains or finished that quilt as I was trying to bribe myself to do). I found some at Walmart which was passable for me. However, after I started it, I began to wish I had made the striped fabric the exterior rather than the lining.
This is what my 4yo did all by herself while I was finishing it up! She is a bit crafty herself!

When I was done I went out and visited my sister at her work for her belated birthday surprise. I made her hers first, so here we are showing off our bags!!!

Again, thank you SEW much (I couldn’t resist) to my friend, Sheila! She has a fantastic etsy shop- sewfaithful.etsy.com you should go check out her fabulous pillows!!!

That's lovely Lindsay! I'm so glad you finally made a bag for yourself! I like the stripes and florals...bother are cute. Good job! and cute art work by the little one. =)
Well that was a really nice purse and I think that you did the right thing by putting the stripes on the inside, looks like you and your Sister had a great time...oh btw tell that 4 year old that she made a nice picture, I guess you could say that I am hearting her picture (etsy language)
Take care

That purse is so cute! It's funny how we haul around purses big enough to be diaper bags....you just never know what you might need!
Camo curtains? My husband would be in heaven...:)
Great bag Lindsay. Have you made 3 now? They are alot of work!
